Steering column help needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am installing newer seats that put me too close to the wheel for my comfort. I am interested in installing a shorter tilt column. Not Interested in shortening a factory or van tilt. I have been looking at the ididit and flaming river columns and noticed the 3/4"DD and 1" DD. Supposedly the 1" is better and is more available, but it looks like ours are 3/4"? I'd really like a 28" if that will work, but 30" would be better than the 32" that I believe is stock. Any advice? Anyone do this? Any clearance issues to look out for with the dash? I tried the search, but i stink at it our it stinks because i never find what i'm looking for.
